About

Mission

The mission of CallbackWomen is to radically expand gender diversity at the podium of professional programmers’ conferences. It’s about all genders underrepresented in tech, including non-binary, gender nonconforming, trans women, trans men, cis women, and more.

CallbackWomen remakes norms. Since 2013, CallbackWomen’s work of advocacy, education, support, and promotion has been an influential change agent.

Note

CallbackWomen is about every person whose gender is underrepresented in tech. Women encompasses all women, including transgender women and cis women. Gender non-binary encompasses people who are genderqueer, gender non-conforming, and many others 1. Transgender men are men.

Being non-consensually positioned in a context called *Women implictly misgenders a gender non-binary person or a trans man. CallbackWomen enthusiastically promotes the work of speakers who are gender non-binary and speakers who are trans men, if the speaker has given personal consent to.
